ImageMagick and GD Library

ImageMagick and GD are 2 of the most widely used graphic software libraries out there. They make the dynamic creation and editing of images and graphs on a site doable, so they should be installed on a web server if you host your websites on it and you want to have something different from static images with fixed dimensions. If ImageMagick and GD are present, you shall be able to edit any image in various ways - generate thumbnails, change the colors, flip it, blur it, and so on. Of course, these tweaks are possible if the script application that you use on your website enables you to perform such things. The two libraries can be used with different programming languages - PHP, Python, Perl, and so forth., and support over a hundred widely used image formats that you'll be able to work with - PNG, PSD, JPEG, TIFF, GIF and many others.
